Just curious. I went to microwave my cold tea the other day at work and man, the horror. It was like I'd murdered their children or something.

I quite like cold coffee. I wouldn't choose to have it that way, but I wouldn't waste a cup that had gone cold.

Always a bad time when your cuppa has gone cold.

Straight in the microwave and get it reheated.

It is very rare that I would allow a cup of tea to go cold.

If my tea does go cold, I would probably either drink it or throw it rather than microwave it. But I don’t see why anybody would care if somebody else wants to microwave their cold tea/coffee.

Cannot stand cold tea, even luke warm tea. I wouldn't re-heat it (not that I see an issue?) I would simply make another, new cup of tea.

My gramp used to drink cold cups of tea. Some even left around for hours....gross! :?

I drink it cold. A typical coffee or green tea lasts me about 3 hours.

It's never as good reheated, but I won't waste it. Straight into the microwave.

I drink espresso. Once it's made it's down my throat. Doesn't sit long enough to go cold. Do enjoy cold coffee though.

My parents always taught me that throwing away food is bad (because children in the third world). So even now I still feel some guilt when I do throw away leftovers and sometimes keep eating even though I'm already full.

But tea and coffee that's gone cold goes into the sink without a moment's hesitation.

Pin it in a one-er. Rare, but unfortunate event.

So after putting on weight because I couldn't throw away food I should now also destroy my stomach with all that excess tannic acid?

God, children in the third world are sooooo demanding.

This is why I don't tend to bother with tea/coffee all that much; I tend to put it down when it's too hot and forget about it, then its too late and I can't strawberry floating abide cold tea/coffee.

What kind of freak microwaves tea? Either make a new one or heat it by adding more hot water.

I'm half/most of the way through a mug of coffee, and I've let it go cold, I'll probably down it rather than throw it away.

I don't have a microwave, so re-heating isn't an option really. And it happens pretty rarely anyway.

Cold tea is horrific.
